Critical reception

The Encyclopedia of Popular Music deemed the album "hard rocking songs about hard drinking hard men." [4] Trouser Press wrote that "Conrad Uno’s production doesn’t raise [Jack] Endino’s blinding gleam, but the effect is salutary, allowing the band to indulge its naturally wanton slop-rock instincts to great hairy effect." [2] Eric Davidson, author of We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001, considered it perhaps the band's "best all-around record." [8]
